Hyderabad: Former MLA and BRS leader Gyadari Kishore Kumar, addressing a press conference at Telangana Bhavan, launched a sharp attack on the Congress government led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, alleging widespread corruption, administrative failure, and irregularities in the Bhu Bharati land management system.Kishore Kumar questioned whether the Chief Minister was running a government or a “circus,” alleging that corruption has become rampant in every government activity.He claimed that after replacing the Dharani portal with Bhu Bharati, large-scale irregularities have surfaced. He questioned who was responsible for the alleged fraud—political leaders, government officials, or unidentified influential forces.
According to him, the previous BRS government introduced the Dharani portal to establish a transparent system for identifying genuine landowners and prevent unauthorized land transfers through mandatory digital signatures.
The BRS leader alleged that around 4,500 land applications were approved through Bhu Bharati without proper verification. He cited examples, including the approval of 80 applications in Kukunoorpally village of Siddipet district and alleged irregular approval of a nala conversion application in Rangareddy district without due process.
He accused the government of facilitating approvals for lands worth crores of rupees to benefit select individuals and questioned the role of Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy.
Kishore Kumar further alleged that private lands in Rangareddy district were placed under the prohibited list to enable negotiations and claimed that changes in Bhu Bharati were being made after collecting commissions. He also alleged that senior political leaders and their families were involved in influencing land approvals.
The BRS leader criticized the functioning of various government departments, alleging that transfers were taking place without ministers’ knowledge and questioned administrative decisions related to T-SAT and the Education Department.
He also alleged that there were internal differences within the Congress government, claiming that some ministers were uncertain about their political future and suggesting that political realignments were underway.
Kishore Kumar accused the government of misusing the Bhu Bharati system to benefit relatives and associates and demanded a transparent investigation into all land approvals.
Referring to irrigation issues, he questioned why water from the Kannepalli Pump House was not being supplied to farmers and announced that a BRS delegation would visit Kannepalli to assess the situation. He also alleged that the HYDRAA initiative was being used only for settlements rather than public welfare and defended the previous BRS government’s handling of land categorization under Dharani. The former MLA further criticized remarks made by Telangana PCC chief Mahesh Goud on unemployed youth and claimed there was growing dissatisfaction within the Congress over the PCC leadership. Several BRS leaders, including Palla Praveen, Dharmender, Padala Satish, Vallamalla Krishna, Kuruva Vijay, Kadari Swamy Yadav, Mithun, and Karthik, attended the press conference.
